"You Told Me" - live in Salt Lake City, May 1968. (Photos in this edit are by Henry Diltz.)
“Very interesting use of the banjo on that cut [’You Told Me’]. I thought it really kicked. My friends all said, ‘That’s your axe, buddy.’ It really kills when the banjo comes right in the middle and then the band hits with that nice bass drop. That moment is really exciting, that’s what music is supposed to be.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters, 1995 liner notes
“When I heard that frail banjo over the top of my 12-string, I thought, ‘Boy, this is good. This is really, really good.’” - Michael Nesmith, 2019 (x)

Michael Nesmith pictured playing pedal steel guitar during the Headquarters sessions, early 1967.
Michael can be heard playing steel guitar on “I’ll Spend my Life with You”, “Band 6″, “Shades of Gray”, and “Mr. Webster” on the finished Headquarters album. He's also found playing it on various outtakes, jam sessions, and bonus tracks from Headquarters Sessions and Headquarters Deluxe Edition.
Ever since I was a kid, I went nuts over comics maps and diagrams. The maps of Kamandi's World. The lands of Skartaris found inside the hollow Earth in The Warlord. And of course, diagrams of the Legion Headquarters.
